The Campaign for Real Ale is proud to announce the release of our latest historic pub guide: Real Heritage Pubs of Wales.

The book is an invaluable guide to over 100 pubs in Wales with historic interiors of real national significance, some of them stretching back a century or more, collected together for the first time in this book.

The book is available for only £6.99 from The CAMRA Shop.

Highlights:

• A unique guide to over 100 Welsh pubs whose interiors have been little-altered over the past 40 years. The featured pubs range from tiny, old-fashioned time-warp inns, to magnificent Victorian drinking palaces with spectacular tiled counters and impressive bar fittings.
• Informative text and 200 superb colour photographs reveal the variety of historic pub interiors in Wales. Discover where you can drink in a 13th century crypt, the round tower of a town’s medieval walls, a 17th century
  guildhall, and a coaching inn that still houses horses in its stables.
• Features the No Sign Bar, Swansea, a regular haunt of one of Wales’ greatest poets, Dylan Thomas; the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel, that was the training base for the first ascent of Everest in 1953 (the team’s signatures are on the ceiling); the Ivy Bush, Pontardawe, that hosted the first public performance of Max Boyce; and the National Trust-owned Cwmdu Inn, run by the local community.
• This guide will lead you to the smallest pub in Wales, pubs with stunning snugs, a pub with no bar counter, and one pub whose interior came from an ocean liner.
• Discover which Welsh heritage pubs sell real ale – much of it locally produced, some even brewed on the premises – and where you can still get served ‘beer from the jug’.
• Public transport details, accommodation & food availability are given for each pub.
